Probing the complex environments of GRB host galaxies and intervening systems: high resolution spectroscopy of GRB050922C
S. Piranomonte, P. A. Ward, F. Fiore +20
The aim of this paper is to investigate the environment of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and the interstellar matter of their host galaxies. We use to this purpose high resolution spectr…
Can disk-magnetosphere interaction models and beat frequency models for quasi-periodic oscillation in accreting X-ray pulsars be reconciled?
E. Bozzo, L. Stella, M. Vietri +1
In this paper we review some aspects of the theory of magnetic threaded disks. We discuss in particular the equations that determine the position of the inner disk boundary by usin…
IGRJ16479-4514: the first eclipsing supergiant fast X-ray transient?
E. Bozzo, L. Stella, G. Israel +2
Supergiant fast X-ray transients are a new class of high mass X-ray binaries recently discovered with INTEGRAL. Hours long outbursts from these sources have been observed on numero…
A Swift gaze into the 2006 March 29th burst forest of SGR 1900+14
G. L. Israel, P. Romano, V. Mangano +16
We report on the intense burst ``forest'' recorded on 2006 March 29 which lasted for ~30s. More than 40 bursts were detected both by BAT and by XRT, seven of which are rare interme…
The prompt, high resolution spectroscopic view of the "naked-eye" GRB080319B
V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, R. Perna +21
GRB080319B reached 5th optical magnitude during the burst prompt emission. Thanks to the VLT/UVES rapid response mode, we observed its afterglow just 8m:30s after the GRB onset whe…
SGR 1806-20 about two years after the giant flare: Suzaku, XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL observations
P. Esposito, S. Mereghetti, A. Tiengo +9
In December 2004, the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1806-20 emitted the most powerful giant flare ever observed. This probably involved a large-scale rearrangement of the magnetosphe…
